Dog’s Best Friend: This dog will hunt

Telluride Inside… and Out’s dog expert is Ted Hoff of Cottonwood Ranch & Kennel. But his property has a flip side: Cottonwood Hunt Club, where, in season, September–February, members and guests get to enjoy unlimited pheasant hunting and guided duck and goose hunting. There also are two four-acre ponds, established as a wetland conservation parcel.

This dog won’t hunt? Ted Hoff can easily change that. Watch the video to see Ted put one of his own dogs, Athena –  OK, so Ted hedged his bets by naming his Lab after the Greek goddess of wisdom – through her paces in the field.
